MUSIC: MÅNESKIN The Four Seasons’ 1967 song “Beggin’” has been covered several times, most famously by the Norwegian rap group Madcon—or so we thought. When Måneskin performed the 55-year-old song on 2017’s X Factor Italia, with all the gusto and gumption of a tried-and-true ’70s glam-rock band, many were shocked to discover it wasn’t the Italian four-piece’s original song. The band placed second in the televised talent show, then went on to become a global rock sensation, winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021 and topping the U.K. Top 10 charts with “Beggin’” and the punchy and provocative “I Wanna Be Your Slave” (which was later re-released with Iggy Pop). With Måneskin’s first North American tour underway, you can catch the fast-rising band in its prime. 8:30 p.m., $35-$180, Theater at Virgin, axs.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: Five Finger Death Punch & Brantley Gilbert “It was a strange sight to see men in flannels and Carhartt sweatshirts mingling with emos with tattoo sleeves and green hair in the pit,” reports the University of Wisconsin’s Daily Cardinal, “but the two groups of fans were brought together by their shared love of music” at this metal-and-country concert at Madison’s Alliant Energy Center on December 2. Diverse crowds like that are commonplace on the Las Vegas Strip, where the 12,000-seat arena at Mandalay Bay will host the 15-year-plus-strong Las Vegas-born band Five Finger Death Punch and country rocker Brantley Gilbert just days after a holiday college basketball tournament and the local debut of the city’s new pro lacrosse team. It’s a powerful musical combo that should fit perfect inside a Vegas venue, and an especially big way to close out the year for FFDP, which just announced it will join Metallica’s 2023 No Repeat Weekend tour. With Cory Marks, 6:30 p.m., $30-$130, Michelob Ultra Arena, axs.com. –Brock Radke

SPORTS: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS VS. BUFFALO SABRES Golden Knights diehards remember well what happened when Jack Eichel returned to Buffalo on November 10: The former Sabre contributed a third-period hat trick to lead Vegas to a 7-4 win, all while boos rained down upon him from his onetime fans. What will transpire when ex-Knights Alex Tuch and Peyton Krebs—the players traded for Eichel in last season’s blockbuster deal—return to T-Mobile Arena? Surely, they won’t be booed; Golden Knights fans have typically welcomed former VGKers back with open arms. And, those same fans are hoping, neither will put up a hat trick or lead his new team to victory. Spring for a ticket and see for yourself. 7 p.m., T-Mobile Arena, axs.com. –Spencer Patterson

MUSIC: HUMAN NATURE: CHRISTMAS MOTOWN AND MORE They’re Aussies through and through, and they’ve pared down from a quartet to a trio in recent years, but Human Nature has been singing in Las Vegas long enough to qualify as a local favorite, if not a casino musical institution. The group has performed multiple residencies at Strip properties and recently set up shop at the South Point, a comfy home for its warm, soulful sounds. Things get even more cozy this week, when Andrew Tierney, Michael Tierney and Toby Allen open their holiday show with a mix of Motown classics—always one of the highlights of their performance—and Christmas tunes executed with elite harmony. December 20-22, 6:30 p.m.; December 23, 7:30 p.m.; $45+; South Point Showroom; ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke
